Info

Curves Ahead by Matt Platts, Editor April was a very busy month for Maverick Region drivers. You’ll find this issue packed with articles, photos, and results of the Autocrosses and Time Trials that were held. First, there was a dual Time Trial weekend at Mineral Wells. Both days were well attended and everyone involved had fun. You’ll find articles about these TTs on pages 17 & 18, with Porsche results and driver standings on page 23. You can see by the “Fastest Porsche of the Day” results that competition was particularly tight during TT#3 with only 4.7 seconds between the 1st place and 10th place drivers. TT#2’s times were a little higher than course #2 would have normally been, partially because the track was watersaturated all day. You will notice an obvious omission as you reach the end of this issue, the “New Wheels” section is gone! Due to a computer glitch at PCA National, our membership chair, Joel Nannis, was unable to pull down our list of new members. So, for all of you new Mavericks out there, don’t Maverick Minutes by Mimi Spreen, Secretary The May board meeting was held on Tuesday, May 4, at Autoscope in Plano. Attendees were Chuck Machala, Keith Olcha, Lanean Hughes, Noby Takahashi, Bob Knight, Michael & Marie Wingfield, Mike Brodigan, Wendy Shoffit, Joel Nannis, Bill Miller and Mimi Spreen. The meeting was called to order at 6:53. Keith - Received info from Ted Glover regarding counties for the next couple of tours. Gave the info to Noby, so insurance can be requested for those tours. Chuck - has 2 versions of the AX schedule for 2005. After discussions, there are already some conflicts, so he will get with Lanean and the TMS dates. So far, there will be one AX at TMS and 2 at Pennington. Joel - we have members Bob - Has a picture of when Maverick Region signed our charter. Keith will put it with the plaque. We have money. Mike Brodigan - has come up with rate increase recommendations including discounts, etc. Bill Miller - Time trials have had a strong turnout and alot of newer drivers. We are also training workers. There have been 3 TT and there are 3 left to go. There have been no problems with teching at the track. Wendy (as Matt) - need articles for Slipstream for AX2 and TT3, article and picture for the Paris tour and Mayfast DE (Noby agreed to write the article for Mayfest). We also need an article for May at Mayo's, and Hope fret - we’ll make up for this by giving you an extra-large list as soon as that data becomes available to us again. Keith mentioned in his article that June is going to be another busy driving month. We have a Time Trial/Autocross weekend at Mineral Wells, followed by an Autocross at Pennington Field. This June 13th Autocross will be our only Autocross at Pennington this year as their schedule filled up early. We always expect a great turnout at this event because itís the most ‘central’ (read: closer to Dallas) venue that we use. This is also a great spectator event because of ample parking and viewing areas (including shaded areas with trees!). If you have never been to a Maverick Autocross, consider stopping by and seeing how much fun there is to have. Pennington Field is conveniently located just South of Airport Freeway on Central Drive in Bedford. Lastly, I would like to remind everyone that the weekend of June 12th-13th includes a tour to Nacogdoches. I’m sure Ted Glover has some great East Texas roads picked out for the trip. This is your last chance for a tour before the summer heat sets in. Shelter update. July Parade issue deadline is June 4. June Board meeting at Park Place. Want another ad for the June 19 & 20 DE for Slipstream. Wendy (as Wendy) - 540 Parade entrants and 141 are Mavericks. Noby - no comments about his new car, oh yeah, nothing about insurance either!! Lanean - Need President’s trophy from Keith. Michelin tires will be raffled off and awarded at May at Mayo's. All profits will go to the Hope Shelter project. Will announce the winner that night. Mimi - due to lack of advertising and the DE conflict, the Father's Day Picnic is being cancelled this year. If the Casey's will have us back next year, we'll be sure to have lots of advertising and hopefully no major conflicts. The Holiday Party is getting bigger and bigger, we should either have it catered or have it at a place that can accommodate 100+ without invading someone's house. Looking into several options. Board meetings for the rest of the year are as follows: June - Park Place Porsche July - no Meeting (Parade) August - Bobby Archer's September - Boardwalk Porsche October - Autobahn Porsche Nov and Dec - Keith Olcha's house Motion made to adjourn the meeting at 8:10. Motion seconded and passed. 8
Photo by Dennis Chamberlain Happy Hour at Joe T. Garcia’s by Dennis Chamberlain Happy Hour Crew: Jay Easley, Tinker Edwards and Dennis Chamberlain Our first Fort Worth happy hour was a success, due in large part to perfect weather and a perfect setting – the patio of Joe T. Garcia’s. There are many who consider the main attraction of Joe T’s to be the expansive, lush patio seating area rather than the food. Maybe so, but I didn’t find any one of the 38 attendees offering me any leftovers. Say what you will, but in my opinion their simple cheese nachos and those little enchiladas are to die for. Be careful where you point that thing, Charlie! The Marimba band provided entertainment – but not nearly as much as first time happy hour attendee Costa Triantaphilides and his fiancé Susan (1988 930 cab). Costa is a fellow CPA and the city auditor for Ft. Worth. Not only that, but he’s the chairman of the American Institute of CPA’s governmental accounting division. Few of you will know much about governmental accounting, but I’ll tell you a secret about it -- it is impossible. Photo by Dennis Chamberlain Matt Platts & Elaine Cash Recent members Tommy and Linda & Tommy Yater Linda Yater (2001 Boxster S) were also attending for the first time. For our June 10 happy hour, we’re moving all the way from Ft. Worth to Plano. In keeping with the Porsche Parade’s German theme, we’re going to the Bavarian Grill. Stay tuned for more details.
